Sunday

let us breathe deeply

So let us
remember the Sabbath. Let us breathe deeply in the rhythms of life, of the
earth, of action and rest. Traditionally, Sabbath is honored by lighting
candles, gathering in worship and prayers, blessing children, singing songs,
keeping silence, walking, reading scripture, making love, sharing a meal. Just
as we must wait until the darkness falls before we can see the stars, so does
the Sabbath quietly wait for us. As darkness falls, as the light of the world
fades and disappears, we light the inner lights, the lights of home and refuge.
Our steps take us home, and the light draws us
in.
